I'm installing a brand new Delta R10000 rough-in valve.
I'm not impressed by the instructions, since I'm using copper they expect me to stub out of the wall, shove my acrylic tub/shower into position and then solder the o-ring/thread adapter onto the copper stub out...
Why would I want to do that, I can't see any reason why I should do that instead of using a fip drop ear elbow just like my shower head and use the correct length nipple...?
Any spout I've ever worked on in an existing bathroom has a nipple there, not a soldered connection...
